Here is the first real scope I used at 14 years of age. Mrs Aitkin our head mistress, France Hill Comprehensive knew I was interested in Astronomy, her husband was Colonel Aitken, Aldershot and I was the youngest to get permission to use the 8" refractor, travelling up from Camberley by bus and collecting the key from the Army barracks opposite.

That is some tool. No wonder you want an observatory now - you were spoilt. :<)

I would have loved to use it more but I had parents who didn't care so no encouragement, also I had to get the bust back at 1am at 14 so gave up.
